Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

ACToys.net has posted an image of last years Wonderfest exclusive Black Convoy, originally a loose figure, in what appears to be Henkei/Gentei packaging. This could suggest that this figure may see a wider release, much like recent store exclusives Thrusts/Dirge and Gentei Strafe. However, it could also be some sort of early test shot that's just surfacing now.

I thought the Wonderfest one didn't get released at all, and only got to the test shot stage.

Well I don't want to get my hopes up too much since it could easily be an old test-shot or a custom-made box, but this is a must buy if it ever comes out. All it will need is some repro Decepticon labels and my Nemesis Primes will have gained another to their ranks... it'll give me an excuse to blow way too much money on that badass sword too.

Jeez. With all the money I spend on this junk I could've had an MP Grimlock by now...that's something to think about.

Cool figure but if he's released, it'll probably cost north of 150 dollars shipped. I can't justify paying that much for another black Prime/Convoy, no matter how cool. Plus, I just don't need a fifth copy of this mold.

Seeing this in the package now - my guess is that this will be released as an exclusive for one of the upcoming Japanese toy events this summer. It might be for Botcon or one of the others that takes place in July.

I was hoping that this would see a release, but it still looks different from the test shot that was released last year...I'm preety sure it had more tan. The Autobot symbols on the shoulders don't seem like they should be there.

I got him about a year or so ago from an ebay link that was hosted on this site, if anyone would like pictures I'd gladly post.

I would love some pictures.

I remember all those eBay auctions, never bought one because I figured Black Convoy would hit retail. It just took longer than I thought it would.
